I do not understand the one thing: it must be a credit card or a debit card is enough to work with Printify or Printful as a backend of Etsy or Shopify store? Please - clarify that question for us.
Shopify! I'm pretty sure you mentioned a few months ago that the Shop app from Shopify is setting itself up as a direct competitor to Etsy, and I agree with you.
Depends on your strategy if you're just starting out and not looking to invest into a website and do a ton of legwork Etsy. If you want you're own thing Shopify. Hey Sara do you still have your monthly membership program? Enjoyed it a couple years ago. Wondering if it's been updated?
Bro, you were one of the first RU-vidrs I watched when I started dropshipping, straight up watched like 15 of your videos and would watch them on release with notes. I’m 6 months in and made $3,000 in sales in a few days and finally found a winner, currently scaling and profitable! I would watch videos / research/ apply daily and for months before I saw any results, spent like $2,000 before making any profit at all, found out why I wasn’t profitable and pivoted accordingly. Dropshipping has been such an amazing experience and I wanna thank you for making these videos bro. God bless you 🙏🙏
You're right that to start a POD business, there four key components are required: the product, the design for the product, a website for selling, and customers
I opened up my store last night but still tweaking a few things. Ive never had a pod store or a shopify as i have been selling physical products from my home through ebay and fbmp. I must say setting this up didnt take much time thanks your step by step tutorial. One thing that kept bothering me was my niche and how i was going to market my store and to whom. Today i was set on my target audience and i now know that my niche can target alot more people once i start to grow. Putting in the hard work now and one day i hope to see it grow. This is side hussle one of many to come. Thank you sara im going to binge watch your channel again taking notes.
Thank you! It's a video that's been requested a few times. I'll be honest, my traffic videos have historically flopped lol and just don't get many views, but I'll see what I can do!
Big thanks, seriously. The time, effort and trouble this tutorial has saved could only be quantified after a lot of time, effort and trouble, so I really can't say exactly how valuable this has been. How great is that?
i really do admire you and this video! There are so many people who are really starting from nothing, so when there are people who can help selling thousands of dollar courses for this information its just unbelievable to me! This video was so helpful and informative and all for free! thank you so much!
I have had a lot of people request a step by step Shopify setup tutorial. So I made this tutorial for those people. It isn't a video teaching traffic, as that would be a whole separate topic and I wanted to create this video to meet the requests I had received 🙏 I can look into doing a traffic centric video though!
A traffic centric video would be fantastic! I have no idea how to get my products/site in front of the people that would be interested in buying.@@WholesaleTed
Amazing tutorial! I found really useful the policies, which I find really boring and honestly overwhelm me haha. Thanks a lot for this. Your fan, Laura 😊
I was looking for a tutorial, i saw tutorials on RU-vid which are for one or two hours, yours is very, very , very good, and by mow it the best in my opinion, I like straightforward information, thank you a lot, i gave you a like and a I subscribed.
Here's a question that's probably not easy to answer but I think everyone needs to do so before starting up a business like this. What have you found limits you from selling around the world vs your own country? like do you have a tax pro telling you where you can/can't sell? do you recommend any service for that? most accountants don't do multinational work like this.
I really love what you do . I have only one question I did not understand.So do I need to change my order settings in Etsy ? How do I know in witch time Printfy orders ? For example then people order from Germany , how much does this coast ? Can you please make a video about the order settings. So I live not in the USA , but want to sell my products international .
Hi Sarah, just starting videos, but am already impressed. I am on the verge of starting my Shopify store and have been reading through the comments. Seeing a couple that really resonated with me. I, too, would love to see videos on marketing on Shopify. I know you said the ones you have tried don't seem to do well but, honestly, anything would be of help. Especially something that might show how to spend little, or nothing, to get started. Do you have a biz acct on Pinterest, or have you done any advertising there? TIA, Deborah.
Hello, I have enjoyed your videos very much. I thank you very much for your tips and advice. I also want to ask you to include in the explanations that the price, for example, of the t-shirts, is given for the blank t-shirt without printing, and the printing is charges 5 or 6 dollars, for example, a t-shirt that we see is worth, 9.50 dollars ends up in 15 dollars on average, in addition to everything else that comes from payments, which I have not seen explained so far by anyone, said the above please include this in your next tips. a hug.
This is super helpful. Just to be clear...the PlaceIt mockup is not the shirt that is offered on Printify? An what if the colors to try and match the Printify shirt are not matching? I don't know how many styles Printifyh offers, but the fit could look different yes? Or are shoppers not really paying attention to that? Thanks! Hope you see this!!!!!!!!!
Hi Sarah love your work, was wondering what’s the difference to following this video to set up your POD store or buying your course to set up your store?
Thanks for this video. You've answered every question I had after previous Shopify videos 😁 Perfect timing 💪 I've got one question. If I want to sell for the USA and EU, do you recommend setting new store for each continent or go global?
Thank you! And absolutely just 1 store, no need to separate them into separate stores, that'll not only confuse potential customers but also confuse algorithms too.
Thanks for the helpful content. A question. Is there a way to create an automated communication flow that allows me to send an email or text message to the customer who purchased by bank transfer, but after "n" days he still hasn't made the bank transfer? The goal is to remind him to make the transfer and at the same time, remind him of the payment details. I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Do I need to change printify locations for sales outside Australia to those regions or does printify do the logistics automatically based on the location of the order deliveries? How does it work?
After quite some hesitation (and all the pandemic and blablabla) finally building some Patreon and/or BuyMeACoffee page delivering some art of my own and then going for some POD page for actual apparel and souvenir items for sale. I may be looking for some trademark/copyright advice as well for protecting my works. Getting back to watch your lovely videos - maybe sticking for the latest ones, being well into 2024 and already targeting for 2025....
Hi! Your tutorial is absolutely amazing! Thank you. I have a question. If my Printify account is already connected to an Etsy account, do I need to open another Printify account to connect to Shopify account? I plan to sell different products on these two platforms. Thank you in advance.
The truth is, I'm personally over using WooCommerce. Shopify has one of the best, if not THE best, tech team & development team in the world. I'm over trying to save money with hosting fees & would rather guarantee that my store stays online, and that all of my plugins work together, and guarantee that I have the best development team keeping my store secure from hackers & scammers, rather than try and save some hosting money and use an open-source platform! And I can't in good conscious recommend it to others because if your store takes off, you'll want to migrate for these exact reasons, and migrating will be such a huge hassle/nightmare. So I can't in good conscious make tutorial videos on it, when I just don't recommend it 🙏
Thank you Sara for these awesome and very informative videos! I really want to start a business like this to generate some money to help out my family. I have a quick question for you, how much money do you need to start up a POD business? Thanks in advance! 🤗
Very thorough!! Yesterday a RU-vidr said that Shopify is changing it's model to 3 days free plus only one month for $1. They said that the source has never been wrong which could just be someone blowing smoke to push people to start Shopify now using his affiliate links and his upcoming tutorial... which they wont need if they hear about this one 😊. What are your thoughts on getting started with only a month to get going before paying their monthly fee? There's a lot to do to get people to visit a new store. Would you please put out a video showing how they can use social media etc. to bring traffic to a newly created Shopify store. $3 for 90 days makes starting a store easy but unless we can drive traffic to it to bring sales that $29/mth from the 4th month on will be money poorly spent.
My traffic videos have historically not been popular view wise, but I will see if I can come up with an interesting idea! In terms of them changing the price... They could be. I haven't yet had a meeting with my Shopify rep this year but they might very well confirm it. They have had this deal of $1 for 3 months for a long time now, I am sure it has been a loss leader for them, so they might be wanting to stop it. Starting now to take advantage of it, is definitely not the worst idea, even if you aren't ready to send it live quite yet!
Hi Sarah, I have opened an Etsy and are opening a shopify store with the same products. Just wondering what you think about the Printify Choice option now listed on their website. Is it just another way for them to use product routing. I am not sure about not having any idea about which printer will actually be creating the t-shirt but the prices are certainly better. I also like the idea they might use a printer closer to the customer. I just worry about the quality, I did a sample order with printify and the shirt was nice but will they always be. Would really like to know your thoughts. x Angela
Hi Sara, love your content, super helpful. Im about to launch my POD store. Just wondering does printify charge sales tax automatically for overseas sales. Im also from new zealand so the only tax i have to worry about is NZ income tax? Is that correct?
As what u taught, using printify app shipping profile without creating my own shipping profile in shopify. Assuming i have 5 different products using either similar or different print providers with their respective shipping rates. On customer's checkout, assuming buying 3 different products, will customer b paying different shipping rates as based on the respective print providers ?? Since i did not create my own shipping profile in shopify.
Dear sara i just want to ask that i m from pakistan. i want to start my career in print on demand so what i should i do.should i start with ETSY or SHOPIFY? i also have a question as i mentioned i m from pakistan and etsy payment method is not include our country.so can i sell my desighns on etsy using printful within the help of payooner account?
Hi Sara! :) Long time follower, here. Is the usual cost for shopify 30 dollars per month, or is it 10 dollars per month billed every three months, making it 30 dollars? Also, you mentioned that near the end about selling to a European market requires different legal notice pertaining to data collection than selling to a US market. Does this mean that one has to choose one or the other to sell to (EU or US), or is it possible to sell to both? How does that work with the data collection notice? Thanks for all the information! I hope I can start in the not so distant future. (If only Germany didn't have so many tax rules/requirements) 😆 Alll the best, Chris
Hi Chris! 1) It is currently $39/month I believe, but when you first join they currently have a promo where for 3 months, you'll just get charged $1 per month. After those 3 months, it'll then switch to $39/month 2) No you can sell to both! It's just you'll want to switch on that privacy setting if you plan to sell to Europe, whereas you don't need to switch it on and have that cookie banner pop-up if you just sell to the USA, the banner warning you about collecting cookies that you see around the internet on most pages is there because of the EU legal requirements.
Hello There, I have been watching so many YT for POD but so far your video is the most helpful. just a request or question from you. the demo you show how to start POD with Shopify I like the trends and all photos and idea is it ok with you if I can choose your idea and choose which the store name and the t-shirts print so I can start my POD I'm just last what to choose and how. please let me know ASAP
Thank you for the video it has been very informative and I plan to setup a shop to sell my prints, just two questions, do you have a video on what the processes with return/refund? And also does Shopify or Printify work out VAT cost?
Hello Sarah I have a question: does Shopify support 'prepaid cards' in order to buy shopify plans?! Second question: how can I use canva or figma or any other apps to create designs related to my niche?! Thanks a million ❤❤❤
I am fairly certain they do support prepaid cards, because they support PayPal wallets as a payment source, and debit cards, which is effectively the same thing! I have lots of videos on designing with Canva, you can check out my Canva playlist :) ru-vid.com/group/PLjNYIrpZp6Bg-lOpF9HpEtimwA_MIQUGq
Shopify and Printify, ok, sounds good. But what if you want to run other shops like Redbullet, Etsy, etc. Can you connect all the shops or do you have to maintain all the shops manually and individually…
So my question is when a customer purchases a products does shopify take the money from your account to print then pay you back in full later or do they take the customer money for the print directly and give you the profit?
Thanks for all your great videos. Do you have any videos on strategies for setting up a shopify/etsy store in Australia/nz to maximise audience (I.e. Getting international sales and not being limited to local market etc)?
You mentioned 2 suppliers that you would use is there a video with other suppliers you recommend, can you set it to a supplier in a specific country example if the buyer is in Aussie it ships from Aussie, if they are in the US it ships from 😊. I may have missed it but do you select which countries you sell to, just thinking of the extra declarations you mentioned for the EU.
I am having problems with Printify showing all my products as sold out. Printful doesn't have all the products that I need. Is there another one you would suggest for bucket hats, zipper pouches, and other women's accessories?
Hi Sarah , Thank you so much for your detailed video , also for the book which too is very helpful. However , for some reason , I do not see the " customer privacy " section , which you have mentioned on 32nd min in your video . I am unable to understand what could be the reason I do not see this .
Can you start a store on here in the uk and also what do we have to pay each time some one buys a product from our store and how much. Plzzz help thanks
Hello and thank you so much for the video... I am at the last steps, but I am having trouble with the payment methods... 1. When I try to put my paypal account, it tells me I need a business account and need to have a real business registered to make this... 2. the other issue is that I can register for shopify payments only if I change my location (not available in my country) and they are asking for a SSN which I dont have.... So can you help me out please..
Hey Sarah! Thank you for all your knowledge! Just wondering,what do you put under address for refunds since you live in New Zealand? What should a person put there if they're building this business from outside the US? Thank you!
If you don't have a traffic strategy first, then this video might not be right for you. Traffic isn't something this channel is focused on, it's focused more on product creation, but there are lots of other channels which instead focus in traffic. But yes, this video is more for people who already have a traffic strategy or POD store elsewhere, that now want to bring it to Etsy. This video is definitely not for everyone 🙏
Is setting up the shipping between Printify and Shopify really that that easy? I saw a video making it seem more complicated but it was a 2 year old video.
this video is great however i see it was posted two weeks ago, and yet shopify theme doesn't have all the settings that you do in your video. i can only do the logo, favicon, background color, social media links, and a description. that's it. i can't find it hiding anywhere else either. i have looked everywhere.
